Sports-focused schools

[Anonymous]

I have a nephew who is going into private high school in South Carolina that only gives 4 hours of academic instruction a day and the rest of the day is sports. Is there any thing like that around here?

I can’t comment on what day to day instruction looks like but I believe the MOST sports focused school in the area would probably be St. Frances in Baltimore, particularly for Football.

Oak Hill is another prep focused program for basketball but again I can’t comment on exactly what instruction looks like there.

But there are certainly some schools that focus on churning out a lot of high profile athletes.

I think more schools than you would think around here have about 4 hours of ACTUAL instruction during the school day. Lots of wasted community time, breaks, long lunches, free periods, etc.

That’s clearly not what I’m looking for. My kid is already in public school that does nothing half the day and has a meager 20 minutes of recess. I’m legit looking for a school that promotes physical education and sports for half the school day.

Not around here..most high performing athletes work out a schedule with the schools or they home school or they go to another state where they have those schools

You could look into fusion, where you could easily do all the academics in a half day. You'd have to provide the sports outside of school.

That’s not what I’m looking for either. I want a traditional school setting that is focused on sports half the day and academics half the day. I want my kid to miss out on the traditional aspects of coed school, socializing, etc., but I want him specializing in his sport.
